Reviews of Samurai Search

  • Great App with Amazing Support

    Downloaded app May 3 and made an enhancement request. The developer responded immediately, submitted an App Store update the next day, and got approved by Apple on May 6!

    The search now works perfectly for my needs — looks for whole words in various Files directories, shows me the surrounding context, and lets me tap to see the original file (text in my case, which I then search through again in Koder).

    Thank you so much for making my day (and week).
  • Wow! Solves the iCloud 'not downloaded' problem!

    'Files' on my iPad will search 'Contents' of iCloud files, but it only sees the files that are currently downloaded. Even after various tricks that supposedly force downloads, it doesn't see the new files (yet?)...

    Samurai with the download option sees all the hits in the folder, quickly and simply, with option to share to reader apps.

    Thank You!
